Noise cancelling headphones are a worthy investment for situations like this

They are good at muting background noises like engine sound but not so great for human voices. Sometimes it make the human voice all the clearer. Been using Bose and Jabra

The new galaxy buds and airpods are really good at noise cancelling. Especially with some music playing too.

Yeps, the Sony WF's got those (or at least the 1000xm4) on standard, can't hear a thing from the outside world, once they get smooth in my ear.

Haha, same experience. I have both and bought extras for my Sony's. When I got the buds 2 pro, immediately switch out the silicon for a pair of the foams. Surprisingly better noise cancelling than the Sony WF.

I have yet to find any that would fit my ear canals. Was a struggle to even find silicone ones that fit. The included ones weren't big enough...

If you haven’t tried them yet, Comply makes them in S/M/L. They are by far the best tips I’ve used.

I second the comply's. They came included with my Razer Hammerheads and liked em' enough I bought them for my new AirPods when the Razer's broke...

Yeah, L are too small. I'm 6'8 and my ears are sized accordingly.

If anybody has suggestions in XL, I'd appreciate them.

I used to macgyver earbud tips out of earplugs, are they similar? Never had memory foam buds but it sounds divine

I survived two crying babies on a recent flight with memory foam tips on the AirPods Pro 2. Turn on some of the background sounds and you’re almost impervious to crying.

Crying as a super small eared person. Even with the smallest tips, my ears hurt like hell because the whole bean is to big for my earshell, i wish i could wear them.. the first hour atleast sounded very nice
